Chapter 3779: A New Addition (395)

On the way home.
Chu He sat in the backseat and looked out of the window. Gu Jinglian suddenly asked, “Who are those people?”
“Oh, I got to know them from the chat group.”
“From now on, keep your distance from such people.” The man added, “I don’t like people who speak in a weird manner.”
Chu He also nodded. Even without Gu Jinglian saying it, she felt that they were the wrong crowd for her. She was not good at socializing. Furthermore, because some of these pregnant women were bored at home, they were especially fond of gossiping. She did not like that.
When Chu He returned home, she checked on her cell phone and saw many messages from Aixue.
“Chu He, is your husband Gu Jinglian from the Gu family in the capital city?”
“There seemed to be some unhappiness caused today. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
“By the way, she asked me to return the 40 yuan that you gave her previously.”
40 yuan red packet.
For some reason, after returning from the gathering, Aixue’s attitude towards her became much more cautious. It was as though she was afraid of saying something that might upset her. The woman seemed nervous, almost as if she was in awe of Chu He.
Chu He replied, “Even if he’s from the Gu family, there’s nothing out of the ordinary.”
On the other hand, Aixue didn’t reply for a long time. The woman could be busy, or unsure how to respond.
After a long time, a vague reply came from Aixue. “You’re more than five months pregnant. Take care of your pregnancy. In the future, if it’s convenient for you, I can teach you how to knit.”
“Okay.”
Chu He replied indifferently. She felt that Aixue’s attitude made her uncomfortable.
Subsequent to that gathering, the WeChat group became much quieter.
Therefore, Chu He left the group and enjoyed some quiet rest.
When she was more than six months pregnant, Chu He had her hair cut a little shorter. Her short hair that reached her ears was cropped, and this was done behind Gu Jinglian’s back.
When Gu Jinglian came back and saw that she had cut her hair a little shorter, he was obviously unhappy. However, when Chu He explained that her hair was too long and it was not convenient for her to shower, he did not say anything further!
Time passed, and her belly gradually got bigger.
The early stages of pregnancy were smooth and uneventful. However, later on, her belly grew as though it was inflated with gas.
When she was seven months pregnant, Chu He started to pant slightly as she walked around with her huge belly. It seemed that her physical fitness had gone downhill.
Butler Fu hired a private yoga instructor so that Chu He could practice yoga in her free time.
At seven months, everyone in the Gu family became really nervous. After all, there was a saying that it’s much easier for a 7-month old premature baby to survive than a 8-month old one. Hence seven months was a critical period, and at eight months, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
It was also at eight months that Gu Jinglian’s attitude changed drastically.
Even though he had placed a lot of focus on Chu He since she was pregnant, he became even more anxious at eight months. As a result, he put aside his family’s business temporarily to focus on keeping her company.
Days of pregnancy were especially tough.
With Gu Jinglian by her side, he would do things for her personally. For example, when Chu He wished to eat an apple, the man would personally wash and cut the fruit rather than wait for Butler Fu’s service. He would pare the fruit carefully, slice it, stick toothpicks into it and serve it to her.
This surprised Chu He. It was rare for him to serve someone, and she was probably a rare exception!
